Yxis Gonzalez
Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Florida and Utah; with a Master’s degree from Nova Southeastern University. I have been practicing for six years, dedicating my career to supporting children, families, and adults.
I excel at fostering personal growth by encouraging self-exploration and resilience, and I tailor my approach to support each client in their unique journey toward healing and self-discovery.
I empower clients to develop effective coping skills to manage emotions, reduce stress, and address challenges impacting their daily lives, fostering growth and wellness.
First session
In our first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming environment where we begin with introductions and an open discussion about your experiences and challenges. I’ll take time to actively listen to your story, and we’ll collaboratively explore your goals and concerns. This session is dedicated to building a strong connection, ensuring comfort, and determining if my approach aligns with your needs for continued therapy.
Strengths
My greatest strengths lie in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered. I excel at fostering personal growth by encouraging self-exploration and resilience, and I tailor my approach to support each client in their unique journey toward healing and self-discovery.
Ideal clients
I specialize in supporting individuals who are eager for change yet lack the essential tools to achieve their goals. I work with motivated clients to build personalized, actionable strategies, empowering them to overcome obstacles and cultivate a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With five years of experience incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into my practice, I have witnessed firsthand its empowering impact on clients. I use CBT to help individuals identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, replacing them with constructive, adaptive strategies. This process not only alleviates current distress but also equips clients with practical tools for long-term resilience and change.
Child Parent Psychotherapy
I have 6 years of experience using this intervention. Relationships are important and having a healthy relationships allows room for understanding and being able to provide support.
Psychoeducation
I have 6 years of experience using this intervention. Psychoeducation is necessarilly to educate individuals so stigma can be reduced, understanding within communities can be increased and there can be better treatment outcomes.
